British Queen benefits from CAP

According to the British daily The Independent, estimates published earlier this year showed that the Queen, one of the wealthiest women in the world, receives approximately £404,000 a year in European subsidies for her Sandringham estate and at least £140,000 for Windsor Castle.

Members of the Danish Royal Family were also among those receiving some of the largest farm subsidy payments, The Independent claimed, basing itself on a survey by farmsubsidy.org
The European Commission is drafting a proposal to limit subsidies for rich landowners. The plans, due to be submitted for consultation with EU member states on 20 November, will suggest that some of the largest payments to super-rich landowners and industrial farms could be reduced by as much as 45 per cent, The Independent claims.
